Former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal Thursday took a dig at SAD president and his son, Sukhbir Badal, for “not being punctual” after he arrived late for launch of the ‘Safedikaran Sewa’ (whitewash service) — an initiative of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) to paint Sultanpur Lodhi in white to mark the grand celebrations of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev. Badal senior delivered his speech and left before the official launch of the sewa, claiming that he was getting late for his next scheduled programme.
The ‘Safedikaran Sewa’ was to be launched by the former CM, but was launched by Sukhbir after he left.
